Video tutorial

Replace the car's wheel yourself when damaged; here’s how to disassemble it. Take the removal kit from the boot, which includes: jack, jack handle, screwdriver, wheel nut key (if available), telescopic wrench, spare wheel. Position the jack under the jacking point of the car (under the stiffest part of the chassis to avoid bending the metal due to excessive weight), lift the car slightly and loosen the wheel nuts.

Raise the car with the jack handle, unscrew the nuts, and pull the wheel off the hub. Fit the new rim onto the hub with the respective nuts.
